Netflow protocol ISSN 2305-7254 ______________________________________________________PROCEEDING OF THE 20TH CONFERENCE OF FRUCT ASSOCIATION is used to receive information from the network devices, which is then filtered and aggregated based on a number of criteria such as number of packets per hour, average packet size, port usage. This data serves as an input to a neural network, which consists of three layers: input layer, hidden layer and output layer. The outputs of the neural network show if an anomaly is present. For every known anomaly the system is designed to detect, there is a neuron that shows the probability of that anomaly occurring. There is an additional neuron for an “unknown” anomaly, as well as one for a “normal” behavior. We discuss further details on the internal design of the neural network in section VI. III. NETWORK ANOMALIES Network anomaly is a situation when the network behaves differently from its established pattern. There are numerous reasons for anomalies to appear: Fig. 2. An example of network anomaly: abnormally high number of • hardware malfunctions discarded packets • unauthorized actions of the staff • intentional security breaches involving the staff • network attacks • virus infection process • "flash-crowd" behavior Anomalies will have different features depending on their source. For example, hardware malfunctions are likely to have distinct drops in incoming/outgoing traffic, as presented in Fig. 1. Fig. 3.

We will give short descriptions along with identifiable properties of each anomaly we plan to detect. • DoS and DDoS attacks Denial of service attack aims to make an online service unavailable.

Recently, autoencoder has been widely used in image anomaly detection without using anomalous images during training. However, it is hard to determine the proper dimensionality of the latent space, and it often leads to unwanted reconstructions of the anomalous parts. To solve this problem, we propose a novel method based on the autoencoder. In this method, the latent space of the autoencoder is estimated using a discrete probability model. With the estimated probability model, the anomalous components in the latent space can be well excluded and undesirable reconstruction of the anomalous parts can be avoided. Specifically, we first adopt VQ-VAE as the reconstruction model to get a discrete latent space of normal samples. Then, PixelSail, a deep autoregressive model, is used to estimate the probability model of the discrete latent space. In the detection stage, the autoregressive model will determine the parts that deviate from the normal distribution in the input latent space.

Parmar Prof. Jalpa T. Patel M.E IT, SVMIT, Bharuch, Gujarat, CSE & IT, SVMIT Bharuch, Gujarat, India India Abstract— Anomaly detection is the new research topic to this new generation researcher in present time. Anomaly detection is a domain i.e., the key for the upcoming data mining. The term ‘data mining’ is referred for methods and algorithms that allow extracting and analyzing data so that find rules and patterns describing the characteristic properties of the information. Techniques of data mining can be applied to any type of data to learn more about hidden structures and connections. In the present world, vast amounts of data are kept and transported from one location to another. The data when transported or kept is informed exposed to attack. Though many techniques or applications are available to secure data, ambiguities exist. As a result to analyze data and to determine different type of attack data mining techniques have occurred to make it less open to attack. Anomaly detection is used the techniques of data mining to detect the surprising or unexpected behaviour hidden within data growing the chances of being intruded or attacked. This paper work focuses on Anomaly Detection in Data mining. The main goal is to detect the anomaly in time series data using machine learning techniques.

  • Detecting Anomalies in System Log Files Using Machine Learning Techniques
    Institute of Software Technology University of Stuttgart Universitätsstraße 38 D–70569 Stuttgart Bachelor’s Thesis 148 Detecting Anomalies in System Log Files using Machine Learning Techniques Tim Zwietasch Course of Study: Computer Science Examiner: Prof. Dr. Lars Grunske Supervisor: M. Sc. Teerat Pitakrat Commenced: 2014/05/28 Completed: 2014/10/02 CR-Classification: B.8.1 Abstract Log files, which are produced in almost all larger computer systems today, contain highly valuable information about the health and behavior of the system and thus they are consulted very often in order to analyze behavioral aspects of the system. Because of the very high number of log entries produced in some systems, it is however extremely difficult to find relevant information in these files. Computer-based log analysis techniques are therefore indispensable for the process of finding relevant data in log files. However, a big problem in finding important events in log files is, that one single event without any context does not always provide enough information to detect the cause of the error, nor enough information to be detected by simple algorithms like the search with regular expressions. In this work, three different data representations for textual information are developed and evaluated, which focus on the contextual relationship between the data in the input. A new position-based anomaly detection algorithm is implemented and compared to various existing algorithms based on the three new representations. The algorithms are executed on a semantically filtered set of a labeled BlueGene/L log file and evaluated by analyzing the correlation between the labels contained in the log file and the anomalous events created by the algorithms.

  • Anomaly Detection with Adversarial Dual Autoencoders
    Anomaly Detection with Adversarial Dual Autoencoders Vu Ha Son1, Ueta Daisuke2, Hashimoto Kiyoshi2, Maeno Kazuki3, Sugiri Pranata1, Sheng Mei Shen1 1Panasonic R&D Center Singapore {hason.vu,sugiri.pranata,shengmei.shen}@sg.panasonic.com 2Panasonic CNS – Innovation Center 3Panasonic CETDC {ueta.daisuke,hashimoto.kiyoshi,maeno.kazuki}@jp.panasonic.com Abstract Semi-supervised and unsupervised Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)-based methods have been gaining popularity in anomaly detection task recently. However, GAN training is somewhat challenging and unstable. Inspired from previous work in GAN-based image generation, we introduce a GAN-based anomaly detection framework – Adversarial Dual Autoencoders (ADAE) - consists of two autoencoders as generator and discriminator to increase training stability. We also employ discriminator reconstruction error as anomaly score for better detection performance. Experiments across different datasets of varying complexity show strong evidence of a robust model that can be used in different scenarios, one of which is brain tumor detection. Keywords: Anomaly Detection, Generative Adversarial Networks, Brain Tumor Detection 1 Introduction The task of anomaly detection is informally defined as follows: given the set of normal behaviors, one must detect whether incoming input exhibits any irregularity. In anomaly detection, semi-supervised and unsupervised approaches have been dominant recently, as the weakness of supervised approaches is that they require monumental effort in labeling data. On the contrary, semi-supervised and unsupervised methods do not require many data labeling, making them desirable, especially for rare/unseen anomalous cases. Out of the common methods for semi and unsupervised anomaly detection such as variational autoencoder (VAE), autoencoder (AE) and GAN, GAN-based methods are among the most popular choices.

  • Backpropagated Gradient Representations for Anomaly Detection
    Backpropagated Gradient Representations for Anomaly Detection Gukyeong Kwon, Mohit Prabhushankar, Dogancan Temel, and Ghassan AlRegib Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332, USA gukyeong.kwon, mohit.p, cantemel, alregib @gatech.edu { } Abstract. Learning representations that clearly distinguish between normal and abnormal data is key to the success of anomaly detection. Most of existing anomaly detection algorithms use activation represen- tations from forward propagation while not exploiting gradients from backpropagation to characterize data. Gradients capture model updates required to represent data. Anomalies require more drastic model up- dates to fully represent them compared to normal data. Hence, we pro- pose the utilization of backpropagated gradients as representations to characterize model behavior on anomalies and, consequently, detect such anomalies. We show that the proposed method using gradient-based rep- resentations achieves state-of-the-art anomaly detection performance in benchmark image recognition datasets. Also, we highlight the computa- tional efficiency and the simplicity of the proposed method in comparison with other state-of-the-art methods relying on adversarial networks or autoregressive models, which require at least 27 times more model pa- rameters than the proposed method. Keywords: Gradient-based representations, anomaly detection, novelty detection, image recognition 1 Introduction Recent advancements in deep learning enable algorithms to achieve state-of- the-art performance in diverse applications such as image classification, image segmentation, and object detection. However, the performance of such learning algorithms still su↵ers when abnormal data is given to the algorithms. Abnormal data encompasses data whose classes or attributes di↵er from training samples. Recent studies have revealed the vulnerability of deep neural networks against abnormal data [32], [43].

However, current methods of anomaly detection often rely on simple excursion detection methods, and manual inspection of machine sensor data to determine the cause of a problem. In order to improve semiconductor production line quality, machine learning tools can be developed for more thorough and accurate anomaly detection. Previous work on applying machine learning to anomaly detection focused on building reference cycles, and using clustering and time series forecasting to detect anomalous wafer cycles. We seek to improve upon these techniques and apply them to related domains of semiconductor manufacturing. The main focus is to develop a process for automated anomaly detection by combining the previously used methods of cluster analysis and time series forecasting and prediction.
